We are the beach people. The surfers, paddle boarders, kayakers, fishermen, swimmers, beach runners, and walkers. We are activists who want to protect the ocean environment, and our access to it! The ocean and beaches are our playground! More Details

This year we will host international surf day at the beach at Spinnakers in Panama City Beach. This locale is as far from the oil as we can go. So join us!

As the oil continues to destroy life in the gulf, we water people have been ignored. While everyone seems focused on fishermen, tourists and economic impact, NO one is talking about long term effects on daily water users!
Over a million gallons of dispersant corexit 9500 have been sprayed in the gulf. Here is a link to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). http://www.inspectapedia.com/hazmat/Corexit_9500_UsCueg.539287.pdf
If you get Ill from being in the gulf, fill out an ocean illness form for surfrider. Find it at surfrider.org under the water quality tab.
